Wholly Frijoles? Kai Zan is another. Tell 'em if they don't want to get stuffed into Morena's, beggars can't be choosers and the space at Kai Zan comes at a premium. It's a win-win.
I mentioned Morena's without it's name, here is the full description "Morena's Kitchen is a half storefront hideaway on W Armitage, one table with three chairs and a few stools offering Caribbean/Dominican comfort food. "....too small.
And Kai Zan lists "early bird special $35" on Tuesday and Wednesday only at 5:15, which would be $45 with tax and tip, too expensive, too early (later would be even more expensive, right), too little food . Many refuse to RSVP more than a week in advance, I suspect a reservation for 15-20, if even possible, requires several weeks notice. When we go to a sushi place, some people only eat cooked items, some only vegetarian, some no shellfish, some mostly eat the non-sushi items included in the deal like salad, edamame, fried squid, etc, so sushi only works with "unlimited for prix fixe", and there are several I consider adequate.
I do hope to try both those places just for myself soon, so thank you for suggesting.
